Delegated design of glazing systems requires understanding architectural intent, building structural movement, manufactured system limitations, design loads, and methods. Architects, engineers, and contractors should be aware of essential key design requirements and know what to look for and approve delegated design submittals for curtainwall, storefront, and other glazing systems. “We will be taking an in-depth look at one of the most misunderstood and overlooked areas in glazing system design,” says Stewart.
With the recent impacts of Hurricane Ida and Superstorm Sandy, this course takes on critical importance. The course content translates the destructive power of a hurricane into specific failure modes and then outlines action taken over the last 15 years to eliminate the sources of failure. The result is more cost-effective, hurricane-resistant commercial buildings. Performance attributes of various types of commercial glazing systems will be reviewed.

The COVID-19 crisis has affected all businesses in America, and the glass and metal industries are no exception. This insightful session has two parts. Part One will discuss the lessons of companies that have successfully navigated through the crisis, what they have learned, and the new programs/procedures they have put in place. Part Two talks about the implications of the crisis for the glass and metal industries in the future—in technology, new products, changes in types of construction, human resources, and more.
Session Moderated by: Debra Levy, Publisher of USGlass magazine and its online news service, USGNN™.
